Advice from two employees of Eutechnyx, a videogame production company based in Gateshead, UK. Luke Withington is a games programmer, and Erin Turnbull is a HR manager. They’ve got tons of advice if you’re interested in working in videogame design, or programming – and they also offer an awesome sounding graduate scheme, Level Up.

And a brief clip of my gold award-winning radio drama, “SeaBurn“. In the podcast you’ll hear it had made “finalist” but since recording the podcast before leaving for the Big Apple, I took the gold award in the New York Festivals World’s Best Radio Programs awards for “Best Student Drama Program”.

The music this week comes from John Carl Toth – an incredible music composer from Tennessee, who specialises in creating soundtracks.

Gem McNair of Crafty Wee Cow – based in Glasgow, it’s a somewhat new company, specialising in really awesome arts and craft work. Gem’s got tons of advice about competition, marketing & building up confidence if you’re trying to get your arts/crafts work sold.

Joe Collins, who jumbles two jobs simultaneously; he’s the co-owner of Homeside Coffee, an independent coffee shop in Sunderland, and also a member Lilliput. A realist at heart, Joe doesn’t hold back from sharing his opinions on the Sunderland music scene, and the positives and negatives of trying to fit music into your life.

The really quite kick-ass band that is Lilliput generously allowed us to use their music for this episode – and I really do recommend you check them out!
